Silchar Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

Silchar Airport (Kumbhirgram) is about 25 km from the city, 45-60 minutes by car or ASTC shuttle: there are no proper hotels around the terminal, so anyone flying to or from Silchar sleeps in town. The reference area is Shillongpatty, near the Barak river and Gandhi Bagh, where the few reliably standard properties are located; the overall offer remains that of a provincial city, with no major international chains.

Shillongpatty

City centre · About 25 km from the airport, 45-60 minutes by taxi (700-1,000 INR) or with the ASTC shuttle; within town you get around on foot or by rickshaw.

Best for: For anyone who needs to spend a night in Silchar and wants to stay close to the centre, the Barak river and the ISKCON Temple.

Pros

Central neighbourhood, just steps from Gandhi Bagh and the Barak riverfront
The city's two most reliable properties for value are found here

Cons

No international chain hotel: the standard remains that of a provincial city
A taxi or the shuttle is always needed from the airport, with no rail alternative
